In the future the past looks presentable.

Every new one
Supports the last,
So the first can relax,
And the following
Completes the followed,
Until the stages are stacked.

Whilst a column
Is placed with a row,
And between them a graph,
Where the points
Are joined up with a line,
And the rises are mapped,

And are used
In the future to confirm
The tenure’s success,
Without ever realizing
That sometimes declines
Were oppressed.
